Dental Crowns
A tooth that is broken, damaged, or in general poor condition can be harmful to your health. It can also affect feeling comfortable about your tooth and your self-confidence.
Dental crowns are almost exactly the way they sound – a crown, or cap, for your tooth. Dental crowns help restore a tooth, resulting in a truly aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Here are some of the reasons you need a dental crown:
- Tooth that is broken or fractured.
- Decayed teeth.
- Cosmetic Benefits.
- Large or Fractured fillings.
- Root canal.
Crowns also replace severe cases of tooth decay that have resulted in a large amount of tooth loss. Crowns allow dentists to restore form and function to your tooth without needing to perform an extraction. It is always best to save as much real tooth/enamel as possible.
This process begins with a consult and exam where we develop a plan for you. We take dental impressions to ensure a precise fit for your tooth. We also treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to placement of the crown.
Once the impressions are ready for your tooth, we place the crown for a proper fit. Once your crown is fitted appropriately, you can again be confident about your dental health and your amazing smile.

Q1. Why might I need a dental crown?
A crown may help protect and restore a tooth weakened by decay, a large filling, a fracture, or root canal treatment. Your dentist will assess whether a crown or another restoration is appropriate.
Q2. What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a portion of a tooth, while a crown covers most or all of the visible tooth above the gumline. The amount and location of remaining healthy tooth structure help determine the best option.
Q3. How long does a dental crown last?
A crown can last many years, but its lifespan varies with the material, bite forces, oral hygiene, and condition of the supporting tooth. Regular visits help identify wear, decay, or damage that may require attention.
Q4. Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?
Yes. Although the crown material cannot decay, the natural tooth can develop decay around its edges or underneath it. Brushing, cleaning between teeth, and regular examinations remain important.
We provide compassionate, advanced dental care that delivers lasting confidence and healthy smiles.
